In February and March of this year I went on assignment to Cambodia with World Relief as part of an 18-month series of trips to showcase their work around the world. After a fantastic stint in Africa in August of 2013, it was great to see their work in another part of the world. There were many memorable moments and images…and plenty of reasons for me to continue to appreciate World Relief and all they are doing in the world of development.

In one of two separate shoots for separate clients in Bolivia in 2013, this time for International Justice Mission, I made hung out at El Alto for a good amount of time, trudging through the thin 13,300 foot air. Here are a few images from that trip:

In a quick update to the Lebanon shoot/story with Medical Teams International (by the way, check out their new website), we’ve finished a short film that may be of interest to you, particularly if you are tracking the situation there and the harsh winter these folks are having to endure in their makeshift homes. See it below:

Going back over some trips I took in 2013 that I never had the time to blog about…one is a trip I took to Guatemala with International Justice Mission to capture first person stories that highlight their work in that part of the world. Here are a few photo selects from that trip:

One of the stories we focused in on was that of Griselda. Late one night, this 13-year-old  was grabbed by three men and violently raped at gunpoint. It was devastating for her, and introduced a new nightmare for her family. In Guatemala, criminals prey on girls like Griselda because they don’t fear real consequences. Instead, it’s the impoverished families who are afraid—afraid to report the crime, and afraid they’ll be all alone if they fight it. Watch how IJM relentlessly advocated for Griselda’s family, and how securing justice has changed her young life:
